Featured breakout presenters will include Dayna Rothman, content marketing manager at Marketo Inc.; Jeff Perkins, VP-global online marketing at Premiere Global Services; and Jeffrey Linton, senior marketing manager at Act-On.
Attendees will be able to visit a virtual exposition hall and interact with vendors in virtual booths. Exhibitors include Bizo Inc., Demandbase Inc., DemandCon, Integrate, Intercall, ON24, Pardot and ZoomInfo.
“Marketers will have the opportunity to experience several great presentations about marketing best practices, interact with attendees and vendors on our virtual expo floor, and experience firsthand how content can be delivered in a dynamic, interactive way,” Felsenthal said.
